Shalom TV
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shalom TV is the first national Jewish television network to air on major cable companies in the United States. Shalom TV addresses the entire spectrum of the Jewish life with cultural programming of interest to the North American Jewish community.
Shalom TV launched in August 2006 as a subscription Video On Demand television service, offering viewers 50 hours of Jewish-oriented programming at all times. Participating cable companies include Comcast, the largest cable operator in America, and Blue Ridge Communications.
Network principals include Rabbi Mark S. Golub, who founded the Russian Television Network for Jews that emigrated from the former Soviet Union; Bradford N. Hammer, who built up the Pennsylvania Cable Network (the nation's preeminent state public affairs service); and David Brugnone of Fox and Showtime networks.
